Rampur (Uttar Pradesh), September 17 (ANI): Commenting on Congress leader Manish Tewari's abusive tweet against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday said the former's remark was an outcome of the depression that is prevailing within the Congress, due to their defeat in the recent elections.

"They are basically depressed about their defeat, and therefore they are saying such things. It is an outcome of their frustration and depression," said Naqvi.

He added that with these comments, the grand old party is damaging their remaining reputation.

Resonating similar views, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh said, it was not appropriate to use such words against the country's Prime Minister.

This was in reply to a Twitter user, who had tried to troll him over the issue of nationalism.

The tweet has received a lot of criticism from the opposition party, and comes in reference to an earlier retweet by Congress senior leader Digvijay Singh who posted a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that said, "Mere do achievements, bhakton ko ch***** banaya, chu***** ko bhakt banaya."
